Hooters for Owls...

That title is probably misleading.
You probably think I'm putting boobs on the owls...
That's right, I said Owls
Plural
I've knit another one and have plans for many many more
muwhahahahaha
I love them.
My current one that I just finished is Stan.
He's a serious sort.
Enjoys working with numbers
Doesn't interact well with others and is terribly shy.
When he hears someone approaching his office he makes a dash for the spider fern and hides.
He enjoys the finer things in life as well, a dry gin martini at night, and a fresh cup of coffee from my thermos in the morning at work.
It's all about routine and ritual with Stan.
He is little being only about 5" tall, but he makes up for size with his owlish cuteness.
He's looking for love but hasn't had much luck on the Owl to Owl dating website.
Maybe someone will pop up soon for Stan.

I think we all know it will.
Probably this weekend.

In the meantime, as Stan cruises the dating site, crunches numbers and drinks my coffee, I'm working on a pair of Antler Mittens by Alexa Ludeman you can find the pattern here

I wanted to use more of my Blue Sky Alpaca Worsted Hand Dyed yarn...
As soon as I finish these I'll be a knitter with Matching Accessories
That's right
I said it...

Matching.

It be the start of something...


Just like the owls...

The mittens go so fast once the cabling starts! I couldn't believe it. If I didn't need to get up at 4:00 a.m. I would have finished the first one last night!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
